It doesn’t take long for unverified news to make rounds on social media. Whether it is pertaining to someone’s personal life, a feud, or about a celebrity’s career; it will be creating a buzz on social media before you know it. Similarly, just recently, rumours were circulating which stated that a film on the life of legendary Pakistan pace bowler, Shoaib Akhtarf was in the works. While cricket fans were excited by the news, the former bowler has now made it clear that there is no film that is being made on his life.
Shoaib Akhtar was forced to take to social media to announce that the news was untrue after reports emerged saying that a biopic was being made about him.
Both Shoaib Akhtar and his manager Taha Sadaqat, took to their social media accounts to clarify that the news was indeed untrue. “All the news doing rounds about the film based on my life is not true. All this information is incorrect. No cast or actors have been decided or under decision. If and when this happens, it will be informed by me,” the former cricketer penned on his Facebook page.
Meanwhile, his manager tweeted, “All the news doing rounds about the film based on Shoaib Akhtar’s life is not true. All this information is incorrect. No cast or actors have been decided or under discussion. If and when this happens, it will be announced and informed.”
